Not sure exactly what's going on, Jamie meets Jack's brief gaze, cocking his head to the side in silent confusion.
Bunny lets out a sigh, knowing exactly where Jack's train of thought has taken him. "I think that's only part of it this time, mate." His paws tighten gently on Sophie's ankles as he continues. "This news is from Manny."

"Manny?" Jack feels almost as confused as Jamie looks. For 300 years, even after becoming a Guardian, the Man in the Moon has never once spoken to him.

Shrugging his shoulders, just enough that it lifts Sophie up, but doesn't threaten to dislodge her from her perch, Bunny answers, "North wants us up at his place so he can tell us what he said. Sounded pretty urgent too".

Jack nods abruptly and frowns, not happy about leaving his winter fun for Guardian business.
"Sorry Jamie, sounds like I have to go for a bit." Jack says, crouching in front of the young boy and ruffling his brown hair.

"...Okay," Jamie says, trying and failing to keep the disappointment from his voice. "You'll come back to play once your finished, right Jack?"
Reaching up, Bunnymund carefully lifts the girl off his shoulders, holding her out in front of him at eye level. "Awright, Ankle Bitah, I gotta run. I'll come pick you up before Eastah so you can help me paint my eggs, so you be good 'til then, yeah?"

"Of course! We'll have a bigger and even better snowball fight than today." Jack smiles, trying to keep the uncertainty from his voice. If this time is as bad as the last time Manny needed the Guardians, there was a possibility he wouldn't be returning to Burgess.
"Eggs! Eggs!" Sophie chants happily, bouncing in Bunny's hold.

Brightening at that, Jamie beams. "Okay! I'll have an even better trap waiting for you, so come back soon!"
Chuckling quietly, Bunny brings Sophie in for a hug, gently squishing her tiny body against his soft fur.

Jack wraps Jamie in a hug, hoping this wont be the last time he sees his friend.
Sophie giggles as Bunny's fur tickles her, and snuggles deeper into his soft coat.

Jamie returns the hug, ignoring the frigid temperature of the older boy as he clings to the blue hoodie.
After several moments, Bunny finally pulls the small girl away from him and sets her on the ground once more. Keeping a paw on her head, he looks over to his fellow Guardian. "We gotta get going, mate."

Jack turns his blue eyes on Bunny as he pulls away from Jamie, reluctant to leave.
"I assume we're taking your rabbit holes?"

Tapping his foot on the ground, Bunny smirks as he replies, "Of course. Fastest way ta travel". He steps back as a hole appears in the ground, motioning for Jack to hop in.

Jack follows, trying to ignore his unease as he jumps down after Bunny, tumbling through the tunnel.

Jamie waves as he watches the pair disappear into the hole, a flower popping up from the newly reformed ground, and tries to push down the sudden wave of unease about Jack leaving.
Speeding through the tunnels, Bunny's ears suddenly twitch as he skids to a halt in front of the younger boy. "Oi, you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Jack grumbles, nearly plowing straight into Bunny. "I can't hear anything."
Jack watches Bunny, gripping his staff a little tighter as he becomes more alert.

Bunny's ears move around constantly, straining to pinpoint the strange sound's location. "Sounds like...thundah," he mumbles, sounding more like a question.
